Chapter 1 – A Forgotten Anniversary
A light went on in a bedroom on the top floor of the house at 51 Farmington St. at exactly 6 in the morning. The light and room belonged to Hermione Granger, it had been 3 years since she had graduated Hogwarts and was now the new Mistress of Magic. Her, Harry, and Ron had been looking for a house ever since Hogwarts and finally after looking for a while they found the perfect one. The only thing wrong with it had been the fact that they couldn't afford it themselves; they would need to have a fourth person. So Ron's girlfriend, Kendell moved in with them and they had lived there ever since.
Hermione got up as her alarm and light went on at 6 just like they did every morning. She got out of bed and went to take a shower, bringing her clothes for the day with her to the bathroom. After her shower she dressed in her maroon, green, black and white plaid skirt and her white button down shirt. Next she dried her honey brown hair straight and then went back to her room where she applied just a smidge of make-up, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. When she was finally pleased with her look she slipped on a pair of black high heels and made her way down the stairs to eat some breakfast.
As she walked into the living room she found Ron passed out on one of the couches. There was no doubt in her mind that he had gone to a bar last night and got drunk which was why he didn't even make it up the stairs. She was used to this happening so she walked into the kitchen and filled a bucket with cold water, returning to Ron she poured the bucket over his head.
"Bloody hell!" he exclaimed as he shot up from his previous position.
"Good morning to you too." Hermione snapped before performing a spell to make his hangover go away and then went back to the kitchen to get something to eat. Ron followed her in there once he had collected himself.
"So what happened to me last night?"
"Don't tell me you can't remember."
"I'd have to say that I can't."
"Ron, you always do this. Why can't you ever remember?"
"Hm...let's see. Maybe because I was drunk."
"Don't be a smart ass."
"I'm not."
"Well then why don't you go upstairs, take a shower and get ready for work."
"Fine, I'm going." And with that Ron walked out of the kitchen, through the living room and up the stairs.
"Alone at last." Hermione muttered to herself.
"Are you ever alone?" someone asked as they joined her in the kitchen.
"Obviously not in this house." She responded. But the only reply she got to that was a low chuckle. "Harry, would you like some breakfast?"
"What are you making?"
"Just some eggs and bacon."
"Sounds good."
"Alright, it should only be a little while longer. I made breakfast for two because I figured someone would be up to eat with me."
"Someone always is."
"Do you happen to know where Kendall went last night?"
"No, why?"
"She never came back."
"I'm sure she just stayed the night at a friend's house or something."
"I kind of get the feeling she's cheating on Ron."
"Why would you think that?"
"Because every night when she comes home late she smells of cologne and has hickeys all over her neck."
"Do you spy on her or something?"
"No but she's usually drunk so she doesn't even notice me."
"Well I think that's between her and Ron, now is breakfast ready yet?"
"Coming right up Mr. Potter." She said just as the timer went off signally that breakfast was ready. Harry walked over to the microwave to get the bacon while Hermione dished the eggs out onto the plates.
"We've got this down to a routine haven't we?"
"Well you always seem to come down right as I'm making food."
"What can I say? I have perfect timing." They both grabbed their plates and sat down at the table where Hermione had already set out two glasses of orange juice and silverware. The conversation continued on like it normally would until they had both finished eating and got up to do the dishes.
"Harry?"
"What?"
"Can you do the dishes this morning? I have to go, I'm supposed to be into work early."
"Sure, go ahead. See you later."
"Thanks Harry. See you." Hermione gave him a kiss on the cheek and dashed upstairs for her purse and then out the door. Just as the door slammed shut Ron walked downstairs.
"Where was she off to in such a hurry this morning?" he asked.
"She had to go into work early." Harry replied.
"So what's for breakfast?"
"'Mione and I already eat, you're on your own. I'm going to shower and get dressed." Harry went upstairs and left Ron alone in the kitchen.
"Fine, I guess I'll just make breakfast myself." Ron muttered. He walked over to the freezer and took out 5 frozen waffles. Placing them in the toaster he set the timer and waited till it went off.
About a half hour later, just as he had finished eating, he heard a key in the front door right before it swung open and Kendall walked in.
"Morning." He said to her.
"Hey sweetie." She responded while walking over to him.
"Where were you last night?"
"Just out with some friends."
"Did you have fun?"
"Lots of fun." But before Ron could answer to that she put her lips on his. "Mhmm. You taste like syrup."
"I just had waffles."
"Morning Kendall." Harry said as he joined them.
"Morning."
"Harry what time is it?" Ron asked.
"Ten minutes to eight."
"Shit!" he exclaimed and then sprinted out the kitchen and through the front door.
"Where did he go?" Kendall questioned.
"I think he forgot what day it was and that he goes into work early on Wednesdays."
"That's right, well I need to be going to work soon too so I need to go get ready." She responded before she went upstairs to her room.
"Bye." Harry called as he opened the door and walked out into the fresh air.
The day passed with no important events occurring. Ron was the first one home from work, seeing as he had gotten out a little early, it was around five. He went upstairs, showered and changed into khaki pants and a blue and green plaid button down shirt. After that was done he put on his shoes and left to go to the flower shop down the street.
Just as Ron reached the store, Kendall was getting home from her job. She strolled up to her room and changed into midnight blue strapless dress that went well with her baby blue eyes and blonde hair. After she had the dress on she applied her make-up to match then slipped on her shoes, midnight blue heels, grabbed her purse, which also matched, and made her way out the door.
At the flower shop Ron picked up his order of a dozen red roses, paid and then went to the restaurant down the street and got seated in a secluded corner. He was supposed to be meeting Kendall there for their two-year anniversary. The night was going to be great, he had flowers, dinner and then a surprise for her afterward. As he waited for his girlfriend to arrive there were things going on he didn't know about.
Kendall walked down the street to the bus stop and waited about five minutes until the bus came. She boarded and looked out the window until it came to her stop. Getting off she then walked to one of the benches in front of the restaurant The Red Rose and sat down. She only had to wait a few minutes before a tall guy with sandy brown hair and green eyes sauntered over to her and helped her up. Together they went into the restaurant and were seated.
Ron waited and waited until finally he saw Kendall enter the restaurant but when he saw she was with someone he immediately flipped out. There with his girlfriend was another guy. He stayed in his seat until they were seated, it just so happened to be at a table near him. Watching them he saw how the guy pulled out her chair for her and leaned down to kiss her. That was it for him, he pushed his chair back roughly and stood. As he stomped over to the pair most of the people nearby had turned and were watching the scene unfold.
"What the hell do you think you're doing here with HIM?!" Ron exclaimed.
"Ron?" Kendall asked meekly. "What are you doing here?"
"WE were supposed to be celebrating our two-year anniversary tonight. But I guess you forgot."
"That was tonight?"
"When else would it have been? And you still haven't told me why you're here with him."
"Max?"
"I don't care what the hell he is name it, just tell me why he's here!"
"You see..."
"Honey, who's this?" Max asked Kendall.
"Who am I? Who am I, you ask. Well I'll tell you who I am. I'm Kendall's boyfriend. We've been going out for two years today. Now the only question is who are you?"
"I'm Kendall's boyfriend, today is our one month anniversary."
"WHAT?! Kendall what is he talking about?" Ron yelled.
"Um..."
"You've been cheating on me."
"No I haven't."
"Yes, you have. I was just too blind to see it. Now it all makes sense. The late nights, sometimes you wouldn't even come home at all."
"Ron it's not how it looks."
"Well I don't really care. All I know is I want you moved out of the house by tonight. Be with Max for all I care." And with that Ron grabbed the roses off his table and stomped out the door and all the way home.
When he reached the house he realized he didn't have his key and began banging on the door. After a few minutes finally the door opened to Harry with his wand pointed straight at him.
"Oh it's just you mate. You really gave us a scare." Harry sighed. "Where's your key?"
"I forgot it." Ron answered pushing past Harry and into the house.
"Hey Ron." Hermione said from the couch. "What's wrong?"
"Absolutely nothing is wrong! Why the hell would you think something's wrong?!" he shouted.
"Ron, you know you can talk to us about it." Harry suggested as he joined Hermione on the couch.
"My GIRLFRIEND of TWO years forgot our plans for tonight. It's our anniversary and guess what she was doing? Going on a date, for a one month anniversary with ANOTHER GUY!"
"Really?" Hermione asked.
"YES REALLY! Do you think I would lie about something like this? Do you think it's funny?"
"Ron calm down, 'Mione just wasn't sure if who you saw was really Kendall."
"Oh it was her alright. They were even in the same restaurant we were supposed to have dinner in."
"Ron please tell me you didn't make a scene." Hermione begged quietly.
"Well I didn't. I just walked over to them and gave them a piece of my mind."
"Ron? You didn't."
"Of course I did! That bitch cheated on me!"
"Wait a minute, you didn't tell her to move out did you?" Harry asked.
"Of course I did, do you think I would let that – that piece of scum live under this roof?"
"Oh no." Hermione moaned.
"What?" Ron questioned. "It's not like you guys should want her living here either. After what she did to me."
"It's not that. We need the money." Hermione answered.
"The...money." He echoed slowly.
"We don't have a fourth person to pay rent with so we're not going to be able to keep the house." Harry stated.
"Why don't we just find someone who's looking for a place? We can put an ad in the paper or something. Because I certainly don't want HER living here anymore!"
"Fine, fine. We'll get a new person to live here. I'll go down to the newspaper office right now and put in an add." Hermione said and then got up to go.
"That's the spirit. I told her she had to be out of here by tonight so they can move in whenever." Ron declared.
"Is she at least going to pay what she owes us for this month?" Harry asked.
"I didn't think about that."
"Ron!"
"Well she cheated on me! You expect me to think about rent payments!"
"But if we don't find someone else soon we're going to loose the house!"
"We'll find someone, I know we will." And before Harry could say anything else he went upstairs to his room and slammed the door shut.
"Well I guess I should go then." Hermione said.
"Bye." Harry murmured just as the door closed. But then it opened again and in came Kendall, she didn't even acknowledge him as she went up to her room and came down a few minutes later with multiple suitcases and bags. She walked out the door with not so much as even a goodbye and Harry had a feeling they were never going to see her again.
Hermione made her way down the street to the bus stop where she took a bus across town to the newspaper office. There she wrote up an add, and then a copy, of what they wanted and gave one to the man behind the front desk along with the money. He told her it would run in Friday's paper until next Thursday. After she was finished Hermione went outside to the bus stop and sat down to wait. She waited about a half hour and a bus still hadn't come so she decided to start her walk home. On the way there was a strong breeze and the paper blew out of her hands. She chased after it for a while but then it blew out of her sight.
A man walking down the street saw a piece of paper blowing toward him in the wind. He caught it and unfolded it. It read:
FOR RENT: A bedroom in a four-bedroom house
51 Farmington St.
$100 dollars a month
Call 567-0943 for details
As he finished reading the information he smiled, it had been almost exactly what he was looking for. Since he didn't have much money nowadays he had to live with what he could get. He decided he would call the number tomorrow and see if they would let him rent the bedroom. Until then he had to find a place to stay, checking into a motel he fell asleep as soon as his head his the pillow.
